Who could have thought that style could be
thus defined as bump at the back of the
waist? This is ignominy indeed For the
rest. our clothes are not irrational, if only
we refrain from piling up the agony in the
matter of drapery.
The autocrats of the toilet are still two
men, Worth and Redfern, both English.
When will their rule be shared by woman?
EngliSnWOmen are more active than they
were twenty years ago, and the discomfort
and incumbrance of their clothes are more
acutely felt. Side by side with the develop

ders when she leaves the stage. or carriage
riding down to the Lincoln bank to with
draw and replace the diamonds that his
wife wears in her different roles.
In no part she plays does Nine. Patti
wear such wealth of precious stones as
when she undertakes ViOletta in La Ira
viata," and ON this occasion. as on all
others. not alone were her head, her neck
and her arms covered with gems. but her
dress as well. What did not strike the adj
mring- crowds of women, who through their
opera glasses paid as much attention to the
precious stones as they did to the sing
ing, was that fully half OF the
stones were paste. Patti happens to be
one of the few women in the world who
can afford to wear paste diamonds and tell
about it without suffering any decreased
consideration for that reason. 1t is one
thing to wear paste diamonds yet own the
real ones, but it is quite another thing to
wear the paste limitations and not have the
genuine article ready at hand.
The fact is that Patti has duplicate in
paste of every precious stone she possesses.
Half of these could hardly be told from the
real, excepting very near by or by cOnnois-
seurs, they look 50 exactly alike and the
paste are of SO fine a quality.
1t has become WeariSome and rather eX-
pensive. too, for Signor Nic0lni to hire a
carriage and detective to go down to the
Lincoln bank on Forty second street
nearly opposite the Grand Central depot.
to take out the big box containing all
these brilliants. Besides that, there is
always some danger attached to it, for
they have to be kept all night out of the
bank and are usually cOnfided to the pro-
prietOr of the hotel where Patti happens to
lodge. Next morning another carriage has
to be hired. and the detective also, and then
with all sorts of precautions the $500, 600
worth of precious stones are put back.
Nicolni cOnfeSses that the most ticklish
time always is when leaving the opera
house or concert hall at night with his wife,
when he must make his way across the
sidewalk to the carriage with the box of
diamonds. There is always an armed man
behind him, and the coachman is also given
revolver. But these precautions he says,
make life wearisome, and really just as
many people come to hear Patti without
her diamonds, as with them.
lone great reason" added Signor Nico-
lini. ''why we had the paste limitations
made was that any one having design
upon the diamonds can never feel certain
whether be is getting the real or the imita-
ton, and this very doubt is an excellent
precautiOn against loss"
Nine. Patti says that when she gets back
to Europe she will probably leave the more
valuable stones at her jewelers. and travel
with only such few trinkets as she may
need. The care of such lot of precious
stones is too great for life to be comfort
able.

it to straw color. 1t has been wisely de-
cided that the natural color of the hair is
the most becoming to eyes and complexion,
and that it may be improved in texture and
heightened in tone by judicious brushing
and washing.
Women who wish to keep their hair and
scalp in the best condition possible have a
thorough shampoo once week. BoraX is
put in the water if the work is done at
home, and little alcohol rubbed into the
scalp to prevent cold in the head. After
the hair has become dry it is brushed with
a thick, firm brush, with bristles not too
stiff, especially if the hair is not heavy.
The secret OF brushing the hair for its ben
eft is to brush evenly and regularly. A
half hour devoted to the task each evening
will improve the hair, give it fine gloss,
without the Objectionable ''greasy look, -
and will aid the broken ends and short
strands into staying in place. -
The most noticeable thing in the present
style of hair dressing is the smoothness and
neatneSs with which the couture is ar,

that was in vogue before the DAYS of the
